Surf fishing 101: HOW TO CATCH FISH by Reading Waves!

Never know where to cast while beach fishing? This fishing tutorial is all about reading the waves and finding all of the places where the fish like to hide on the beach! These tips always help me to catch more fish while saltwater fishing and I hope they help you as well!
This week, I am beach camping with my dad, my mom, and Erin. We are hoping to target some big red drum and maybe some bluefish so we can cook up a nice meal together. This is my first time camping on the beach with my dad and we are having a great time! Do you go beach fishing with your dad? Comment below!

This... this right here is my heaven. No sun bearing down on you, the fog closing in to give you that sense of isolation. The sound of the ocean. Perfection.

Indeed sire, indeed.

[@maxtan3682]

Wow I love your life style, camping on the beach, spending time with your family and doing what you love. 👍👍👍

[@wayned3137]

And make money the same time 😉✌️

[@ralph601]

Spent 6 hours on the beach in Corpus Christi Tx and caught a 23.5" red just like the one you caught after watching your other surf video. Thank you.

[@HeySkipper]

That’s awesome!

[@SparhawkM]

What an adventure guys!! So good to see the whole family together!! And mom sounds like my mom....Hi Ya!!

[@HeySkipper]

It was a trip of a lifetime! Such a blast, we all had a great time.

[@roybrown3773]

GOOD TO SEE YOUR DAD DOING WELL WISH MY DAD WAS HERE TO FISH With YOU ARE BLESSED

[@marley9904]

There's nothing more satisfying than eating a fresh fish right from the ocean not frozen ones in the market. Love ur vid guys with the whole family. It's a life I always dream of. GOD bless

[@itzjosiah3964]

I’m glad my home state has the best saltwater fishing

[@onelove3268]

I realized that I knew absolutely nothing about fishing when I watched your videos, you have taught me a lot. Thank you.

[@lshin4944]

I love how you bring the sustainability factor into your videos! I hate seeing fisher people catch everything and show no care for the environment. Thanks for informing the masses!

[@joebond816]

This channel is a family favorite in our house! Good day of fishing!

That’s awesome! Say hi to everyone from brendon and erin! It means a lot to us:)

[@ShimAzu700]

Yes Brandon looks like fun all family camping together and catching fish.

[@gregsheffield7586]

Camping and fishing with family, with your mom and dad, and the special person in your life… Don’t get any better than that!

[@stephenboyd3321]

Me and my girlfriend started fishing some months back. We’ve both done it as kids and re established the love. And we absolutely love you two. Brendan is so informative and an amazing fisherman to watch but we wanna seen Erin fish more. She’s so much fun to watch. She’s such a good producer and camera woman but we so love her appearances in the sand (field). Thanks for the great content!!!

[@angel3211]

I go fishing with my dad almost every day here in Cabo San Lucas, México. We do shorefishing and we love it 😁

That’s awesome! I love fishing in Cabo!

[@fabianronck4575]

thumbs up for treating fish humane way. that was not already "instantly". but no fish were kicked in this video! give your dad a hug!

[@GilAcee]

Thanks Brandon. I was at Cape Look Out last month on a fishing trip with my grandson. One of the few places left where you can still drive on the beach and no houses! Thanks for all you do!

[@kevinashley478]

Hey, I am planning to hit the beach here soon to do some fishing. I am very familiar with Atlantic Beach and the island as a whole. How do I find out if I can drive on the beach? That is part of the reason I made sure my truck has 4WD

[@richardkimgreene2749]

Great to see your successful, persevering family outing with dog, parents and bait included (get a sharper knife). You know the turf, read it well, and it's fun for me seeing you honor your family and each other, as our LORD commanded. The fishing tips are well taken amidst the familial love portrayed. Reminds me of my humble, Polish, steadfast family traditions. Honor your family and God with such respect for your elders. It's how God designed us to be!

[@richs4878]

What a great day of fishing. Thanks for sharing.

Hi god bless Brandon, I really admire your talent in fishing, I have learned something from you that we must read the waves

Fantastic vid. That is my kind of get away. Camping fishing familt and the sound of the surf...great tips as well.

[@khondkerjamil39]

Another great video with lots of good information. Thanks a bunch.

[@franciscoteveni5847]

I enjoy watching all your videos.

[@ObiWanShinobi1]

I love those "reel peelers", even if they break off or spit the hook, they're a big rush; and wondering what they were is almost as fun as landing them and finding out.

[@markm2302]

At first glance I thought your mom was carrying a baby. Then with the second view, I noticed that it was a different kind of baby lol. I am very happy to see you out with your parents! That's awesome!

[@HeySkipper]

Lol, love going with them:) they are too fun. Glad we have a good adventure team going.

[@Mrc220]

Much respect for talking briefly about killing the fish rather than letting it suffocate after the catch. Humane, and better for the meat.

Thanks for watching!

[@thaweezl8852]

Thank you for announcing what the catch is - while I’ve caught many blues, I’ve never seen a red or black drum, and never been the one pulling up a flounder. Tho, flounders are fairly easy to ID... just ask the boys of the delta house, lol

Another great video brother I like to watch your videos. Not for learning reasons they're just cool. 😀

[@psdorival]

From Brazil watching your videos here there are lot beachs many places for fishing.

[@TomyTekOutdoors]

My heart sank when that big one came loose. It's awesome to see you fishing with your family. Camping with the fam looks like a lot of fun. I really need to go down there next year. I have to get a new truck first. I look forward to next week.

[@HeySkipper]

Man. I won’t forget that one for a while lol! The fam was a blast to go with. As long as you are prepared... sounds like you are ready for a new truck and to make a trip to the OBX next season!
